Set a steak burrito next to a chicken one and the calorie gap is smaller than the price gap suggests: 945 against 975. Steak burrito calories run 30 below the chicken build because the steak scoop is lighter, not because anything about the tortilla changes.
Figures are for a steak burrito with a flour tortilla with white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa and cheese. Change any part of it in do the arithmetic on a whole meal to see how the totals move.
| Build | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steak Burrito | 945 | 47 g | 118 g | 28.5 g | 12 g | 2,230 mg | 4 g | 10 g |
At 2,230 mg, a steak burrito is within 70 mg of the entire recommended daily sodium limit. The tortilla contributes 600 mg of that, the fresh tomato salsa 550 mg, and the steak only 330 mg. The wrapper and the salsa outweigh the meat.
Dropping the tortilla takes the same fillings from 945 to 625 calories and from 2,230 mg to 1,630 mg of sodium. For a steak order specifically, the bowl is the version that keeps you under the daily sodium line with room for a drink.

A steak burrito carries about 2,230 mg of sodium, roughly 97% of the 2,300 mg daily limit in one item. The tortilla contributes 600 mg of that and the fresh tomato salsa 550 mg, while the steak itself adds only 330 mg. Switching to tomatillo-green chili salsa removes 290 mg.
A steak burrito has the fewest calories of the classic meats, at 945 in the standard build, just under chicken at 975. Carnitas is the highest at 1,005. Every one of those figures includes the same 320-calorie tortilla, so the protein choice accounts for the entire spread between them.
